Accommodation Services 

Raven Community Care provides different types of accommodation support through NDIS-funded services that can cater to a variety of needs, each designed to help individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible. The three main support types offered are Individualised Living Options (ILO), Short-Term Accommodation (STA), and Respite Support, each serving a distinct purpose and tailored to specific circumstances. Here's how they relate to each other and the NDIS framework.

​

1. Individualised Living Options (ILO):

   • ILO is about offering personalized support for individuals with higher support needs, helping them live in their own homes or in community settings with flexible support arrangements. It’s ideal for people who need assistance with daily living tasks such as personal care, cleaning, meal preparation, and other household responsibilities. ILO focuses on building skills and providing the right level of support to maintain independence in the home. It’s designed for people who require constant or ongoing support but still want to live as independently as possible. The support is tailored to the individual’s goals and preferences, ensuring they receive the specific assistance needed to live comfortably at home.

2. Short-Term Accommodation (STA):

   • STA, also known as respite care, provides short-term, temporary accommodation to individuals, offering relief for both the person receiving care and their primary caregivers. This type of support can be used when someone needs a break from their usual living arrangement, such as for a holiday, to attend a specific program, or for emergency situations. STA is useful for individuals with disabilities who may need temporary support with daily activities like cooking, cleaning, and personal care. It also serves as a respite for family members or carers who need a break while ensuring that the individual continues to receive the support they need.

3. Respite Support:

   • Respite support is often provided as a temporary service to give family or carers a break while ensuring that the individual with a disability still receives support with tasks like personal care, social activities, and daily routines. This can take place in an individual’s home or at a respite center, and it is designed to offer a break from regular caregiving, ensuring that the individual’s needs are still met during this time. It helps maintain the well-being of both the individual and their carers.
